Gno Gnocchi
[Re: "We're Jammin,'" vol. 5 no. 35]
I’m so happy you wrote a review [of BluJam Café]! I live around the corner and stop in a few times a week. Everything is always good but the article left off my favorite item which is the gnocchi but only cause its not on the menu and you have to ask for it special! If someone didn’t like the food here I’ll pay your check. I’m the guy in the corner w/ the laptop and the killer cup of coffee.

Toy Mutilation
[Re: "Short Circuit Solo," vol. 5. no. 35]
I’ve played with this for years, never knew it had a name! I found that the battery operated Xmas decorations that play tunes, can be bent by getting your finger wet and shorting the leads of the IC chip that poke out beneath the circuit board. It drove my father in law so batty he hid the ornaments! I could easily distort the timbre and pitch. I have also messed around with battery FM radios. I am also a classically trained composer, interesting coincidence.

This is a great new movement. I’m tired of all the rock and roll copycats. I am refreshed I used to screw with Mattel toys check out the movie DUI form 1982 with John Tribee, Chuck Duchowski and wurm and me and the Krew kuts klan.
Thanks, see you at CIA on August 9th!

Unaffordable Housing
[Re: "Condos Condemned," vol. 5 no. 34]
The “housing is a HUMAN RIGHT” sign is interesting. I don’t remember the Founding Fathers debating whether or not the right to live where you’d like to, and *affordably*, was inalienable. Move to Vegas, get your degree, or trade your car for a motorcycle. Whatever. Everyone wants to live in L.A., but not everyone can afford it. Let’s keep the rental and real estate markets what they are: markets.
And the elderly should know better by now than to trust the city or the mayor with their spread. By the way, if I sound cold or heartless, it’s probably because I’ve been stuck in the Valley for the last five years.
